Bild and Bertelsmann launch knowledge library

The daily newspaper Bild, the Bertelsmann Lexikon Institut (Wissen Media Verlag) and Club Bertelsmann are launching another joint book project: the Bild Knowledge Library. The twelve volumes of the thematic series will be published from September 19 at a price of 9.95 euros. They cover Earth and space, countries and continents, science and technology, animals and habitats, plants and the environment, people and the body, antiquity and modern times, the greats of history, art and architecture, music and literature, religions and faith, and business and society. Bild and Bertelsmann want to get people excited about education, according to a press release. The Bild Knowledge Library is distributed in bookstores via the Bertelsmann Lexikon Institut. Interested parties can also purchase it from Club Bertelsmann. Bild and Bertelsmann had already jointly launched the Immendorff Bible in March 2006.
